Shipped by UPS - scheduled for 10/14. Hoping to be surprised with maybe a day early!
 
ATT Apple.com order.

Apple.com says "Preparing for shipment."

I get nothing from UPS or Fedex. Ah well. It still says "Delivers on Oct 14th" on apple.com.

Come on!
 
I go the shipping notification this morning. Let from Shenzhen, China yesterday.

I'm still stuck at preparing for shipment :/
 
Nothing on me end yet - but mine hasn't changed to prepared for shipment yet, either. Ordered around 3:20AM via Verizon. :(

Don't stress. Verizon will ship from the US. The process will start a little later but get to you on the 14th or a day or two early...

This. :(

Ordered really early (right when :apple: stopped crashing) but no change in status. At least I never had a backordered status.
 
Mine shipped!

OH YEAH! This trick worked for me. Tried Fedex, then UPS. UPS it is. Set for Oct 14 delivery.

Not working!!!!

I ordered my my 4S as soon as apple opened up, then it got reserved and i finished the order before 7:30am EST. and still nothing. this blows, it says it ready for shipment but the UPS and Fedex sites still say they cant find any order.:confused:
 
It doesn't seem to work for people who are ordering from apple. I can't get any site to give me any tracking information. My order is preparing for shipment though.
 
Still nothing on either shippers site for me. :( Has any Verizon customer that ordered through Apple gotten any shipping info?

I'm a Verizon customer who ordered from Apple, mine is still in Preparing for shipment status, and no status yet found on UPS or Fed Ex yet.

I am thinking if they sold 1 Million on the preorder in the first 24 hours, and they are looking to get every unit out by the 14th, a lot of us will deal with delays on updates :confused:

Be patient, Friday will come :cool: Just won't come soon enough ;) But hey, on the 12th, we will have IOS 5 to download and tide us over until out 4s's arrive.

Just departed from Hong Kong!

Let's see a screenshot to prove it really is scheduled to be delivered on the 12th.

Everyone else's tracking numbers have shown that their scheduled delivery isn't til the 14th.

Online it says the 14th for me as well, but I called UPS twice both times they said their system is more updated than what I see online and both people said I am scheduled for delivery Oct 12th, 2011 by 10:30 AM. I Said please confirm this because I need to be at that location for signing, she said yes, baring any customs issues it will be delivered the 12th.
 
When I ordered the 3GS at launch, I had a delivery date a few days before the official release. Apple will have the shipper withhold delivery until the appropriate day, however (and this probably won't become apparent until you try to track the shipment on the day it claims it will be delivered). I would guess even a UPS rep isn't going to know about the hold; Apple might not even communicate it until the day before or so.
 
For those who have gotten their shipping info at the carriers websites has your Apple order status changed to shipped yet or is it still at preparing for shipment?

Mine still says Preparing for shipment on Apple.com

My tracking was discovered on UPS with my cell phone number
 
I know this is a long shot, but for the people that were able to get a tracking number for US deliveries, are you using the ZIP+4 or just the ZIP number?

I can't get my tracking info from UPS, I ordered from Apple....:(
 
Nothing here yet...I ordered from Apple at around 12:30pm est. Apple.com says "Preparing for Shipment", with "Delivers Oct. 14th"

I'll keep checking.
